Chickering Quarter Grand

[Gilreath@aol.com]

Hello everyone,

I'm sure that most of us are familiar with the Chickering Grand that had the
moniker "Quarter Grand" cast in the plate.  I just tuned a 1914 5'7" model
and was curious if the name referred to just this size, or several sizes and
where the term came from.  We also have a "Quarter Grand" coming into the
shop from Florida for rebuilding which originally raised this question.

Perhaps, PianoGuru has some info out there in Arkansas since Baldwin owns
Chickering.

Thanks folks,
